Comer claims leads exist to trace $10M bribe Biden allegedly took.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Pursues Leads on Alleged $10 Million Bribe
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is determined to uncover the truth behind the alleged million bribe that President Joe Biden supposedly received. Comer recently revealed that he has promising leads in his investigation.
The evidence of this payment can be found in an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, which was made public by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in July. According to the document, a confidential FBI informant disclosed that Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company where Hunter Biden served on the board, claimed to have funneled $5 million to Joe Biden and $5 million to Hunter Biden. This alleged exchange was said to be in return for pressuring the Ukrainian government to dismiss Viktor Shokin, the country’s lead prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.
Offshore Accounts and a Familiar Pattern
When asked about his progress in tracing the $10 million, Comer shared, “We do have leads. We believe and suspect that there are offshore accounts.” While he refrained from providing further details at this time, he assured that more information would be forthcoming.
Comer also highlighted the possibility of offshore accounts being linked to the funds mentioned in the FD-1023 form. He explained, “This aligns with what we’ve observed in other countries like Romania, China, Russia, and Ukraine, where they utilize various bank accounts and shell companies.” The chairman emphasized that this pattern is consistent with their findings.
IRS Whistleblowers Shed Light on the Situation
During the discussion, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) joined the conversation and acknowledged the significant impact of IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler, who acted as whistleblowers. Their testimonies before Congress in July have been instrumental in shedding light on the matter.
Smith praised the IRS whistleblowers, stating, “Let me tell you, the information’s coming out. These IRS whistleblowers have done a phenomenal job, and no one has been able to refute their statements. Their accounts have remained consistent.” He further criticized the Biden administration for presenting a different narrative.
As the investigation unfolds, it is clear that there are still many questions to be answered regarding the alleged bribe and its connections. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
